I monitor the freshness of my backups via Nagios - I wrote a plugin to
do so:

https://github.com/bigpresh/misc-scripts/tree/master/nagios_rdiffbackup_check

Might be of some use to you.

Obviously intended to be executed from Nagios' NRPE daemon, but can be
run directly too:

$ ./nagios_rdiffbackup_check -w 3h -c 6h -d ...
CHECKRDIFFBACKUP OK - Last backup completed 1 hour and 8 minutes ago


Cheers
